The UK’s longest train journey with 36 stops and ‘breathtaking countryside’ There’s nothing quite like settling in for a long train journey with a tonne of snacks, books and unlimited window views.
Leaving Aberdeen at 8.20am once a day, the service only runs directly one way – so if you’re wanting to get back to Aberdeen afterwards, you’ll need to be prepared to either change in London for the simplest route, or make a maximum of five stops between the likes of Bristol, Newport, Crewe, and Edinburgh.
You’ll definitely want a window seat for this one, as the train zooms past the likes of Edinburgh Castle, Bamburgh Castle, the Fife coastline, the Royal Albert Bridge and, eventually, the Dawlish seawall down in Devon.
So, if you’ve got the patience, then you’ll be wanting to tick the UK’s longest train journey off your travel bucket list, featuring ‘breathtaking countryside’ views from Scotland right down to the Cornish coast.
